Direction (Q146-150): The news item in each question below is to be classified into one of the following five areas.
Direction (Q 151-160): Read the following passages and answer the questions given below them.
Passage I
The general principles of dynamics are rules which demonstrate a relationship between the motions of bodies and the forces which
produce those motions. Based in large part on the work of his predecessors, sir Isaac Newton deduced three laws of dynamics which
he published in 1687 in his famous principia.
Prior to Newton, Aristotle had established that the natural state of a body was a state of rest, and that unless a force acted upon it to
maintain motion, a moving body would come to rest. Galilco had succeeded in correctly describing the behaviour of falling objects
and in recording that no force was required to maintain a body in motion. He noted that the effect of force was to change motion.
Huygens recognized that a change in the direction of motion involved acceleration, just as did a change in speed, and further, that the
action of a force was required, Kepler deduced the laws describing the motion of planets around the sun. It was primarily from Galileo
and Kelper that Newton borrowed.

(c) Huygens and Kelper (d) Galileo and Kepler (e) Galileo and Huygens
Passage II
Although stage play have been set to music since the era of the ancient Greeks when the dramas of Sophocles and Aeschylus were
accompanied by lyres and fluetes, the usually accepted date for the beginning of opera as we know it is 1600. As part of the
celebration of the marriage of king Henry IV of France to the Italian aristocrat Maria de Medici, the Florentine composer Jacopo Peri
produced his famous Euridice, generally considered to be the first opera. Following his example, a group of Italian musicians called
the Camerata began to revive the style of music story that had been used in Greek tragedy.
